What it is

Marshmallow sauce is a sweet, creamy topping made primarily from sugar, corn syrup, and water. It is often flavored with vanilla and may contain stabilizers to maintain its smooth texture. The ingredients are typically heated and mixed until a thick, pourable sauce forms.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use marshmallow sauce as a sweetener and to add a rich, creamy texture to foods. Its primary function is to provide a sweet flavor and a desirable mouthfeel. It is commonly found in ice cream, frozen yogurt, baked goods, and as a dessert topping.

Health notes

Marshmallow sauce is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is primarily composed of sugars, and excessive consumption of added sugars can contribute to health concerns. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar sugar-based ingredients. Evidence does not suggest adverse effects from typical consumption levels in a balanced diet.

Allergen info

Marshmallow sauce is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
